In the fourth quarter consumer businesses can always catch the last fling–it’s the most important time for clothing retailers, as people tend to spend more during the holiday season. Department stores and boutiques see an increase in sales. Jeans, coats, sweaters, scarves, winter pajamas, stockings and other articles of clothing go flying off the racks during this time of year. For wholesalers it’s an exciting time because lots of people add to their wardrobes for Christmas parties, New Year celebrations and other winter festivities.

Though the financial downturn depressed the fourth quarter sales last year, things seem to be looking rather different as the end of this year comes around. Recently, clothing retailers American Eagle Outfitters Inc. and J. Crew Group Inc. offered hope for a holiday sales upturn in a Wall Street Journal report. Read More

Jeans are never outdated. It’s amazing that any single item created several hundred years ago can still be so popular in fashion industry. Getting familiar with the various aspects of jeans may help you successfully choose the perfect pair for your customers. Here are some tips:

Sizes

It is essential to choose jeans that fit your customer’s physique. This, however, is not always easy. You’ve got to know well the customer’ hips and waist line as accurately as possible. It’s best to let him/her try out the jeans to see if they are too loose or too tight. For wearers, it is never a pleasant experience to be stuffed in a pair of jeans which are too slim. Remind your customer not to expect to look slim by doing the mistake of choosing a smaller size than his/hers. On DHgate.com, the professional jeans seller can give you some useful suggestions as to what kind of jeans best suit different customers.

Right Cuts

The right kind of cut plays a very important role in ensuring that the jeans are comfortable to wear. Check the curve running from the thigh to the leg to see if it’s too curvy or not enough so. Of course, the most secure way is to encourage your customer to try on the jeans; even some seemingly perfect cuts might not really fit him/her. It is very important to avoid too tight cuts at the thigh. This will make your customer’s thighs look unduly large. There’s another thing to keep in mind: don’t forget to ask your customer to sit and walk around the store when he/she is wearing the jeans.

Styles

There are many styles of jeans: bell bottoms, carpenter jeans, hip-huggers, wide-legs jeans, skinny jeans, jorts, etc. Different styles can give your customer a very different look. If he/she is addicted to retro fashion, recommend him/her bell bottoms; if he/she loves to look leisurely, let him/her try wearing carpenter jeans with too many pockets and loops.

When choosing jeans for your customer, you also need to consider about his/her age. There are jeans specially designed for youngsters while some others are comparatively conservative or for older people. For example, skinny jeans are more popular among young fashionable people, but are less comfortable than some other styles.

Seriously, if you recommend to any individual customer a pair of jeans based on his/her situation, you will easily sell the jeans and build a solid base of repeat customers.

Blue jeans are the foundation of many men’s wardrobes. What is the basis of this love affair men have with jeans? It probably comes down to versatility. Jeans can be worn at home, on a hike, on the job, or at restaurants, bars, concerts or parties. In fact, aside from black tie functions and weddings, there are very few places that jeans should not make an appearance. What other men’s apparel has this wide a territory? Today there are so many styles of blue jeans, that finding the right pair of men’s jeans is always a challenge. Luckily, there are a few guiding principles that can help men select a pair of jeans.

Clothing styles change every year, but some styles of jeans remain timeless and can be worn year after year without appearing outdated. For example, original blue jeans, which have evolved from the age old denim work wear, are very versatile and never go out of style. Slightly faded blue jeans are a staple casual wear style that can also transform into a hip outfit with a sports coat and the right dress shirt. Even more faded, “dirty denim” men’s jeans come in a brown rusty color or dirty blue with stylized designs that can rise above trends with an enduring appeal.

Any more color variation beyond the dirty denim options, however, is too trendy and therefore loses the timeless quality that jeans are prized for. Flashy colors like red should be avoided, and outdated black or white jeans hearken back to the 80s. In addition to color, the fit is a key ingredient. Jeans should not be too tight or too loose, both of which appear out-of-date and can often look ridiculous. A tight fit at the bottom of the leg, tapered pants or wide bell bottoms are styles that can look dated, as well. Meanwhile, the straight leg or slightly-flared boot cut stand the test of time.

Jeans tend to shrink when washed so men should not try to find the perfect length, but rather buy jeans a little longer than needed. This way a pair of jeans may shrink to the right length, but this also provides the opportunity to fold the bottoms or alter the jean legs to the ideal length. Preshrunk jeans are an excellent option, because they minimize the shrinkage impact of the washing machine, but even with preshrunk jeans we recommend buying jeans which are slightly longer.

The usage of the jeans should also be a determining factor when deciding what type of styles should be worn. For example, if jeans are worn in a casual workplace, more conservative styles make a better impression. The atmosphere may be very casual but it is still a place of business, and therefore requires a more conventional approach. When going out, however, the men’s jeans dress code has very few restrictions.

In the end, men are encouraged to look for jeans with style. Just because styles are classic and timeless does not mean they have to be boring.
